In a Long Shot

Ch9: This Never happened

She was just about to respond when somebody cleared there voice.
---------------------------------------------------
              Max Fineler

Maricela...
Oh crap...
She walked up swaying her hips in mischief and disbelief.
I could feel the tension and anger radiating off her.
In any second she could blow up like a bomb.
The way we were tangled,my hands gripping around her small frame and her cheeks red. It obviously look like we having a 'great' oh time out here.
I'm released Gloria gently before Maricela aproaches.
"What is this?"
She looks at me and Gloria.
Gloria puts her hands on her face shaking her head.
Maricela continues talking,
"Am I not good enough for you"
I sighed,"your fine I was just helping my-.. I stopped to look at her then said,my bestfriend".
She lifted her hands from her face wide eyed.
"You consider me a..your..Bestfriend".
I nod and look to Maricela and see an understanding look in her eyes.
"I understand Max sorry for jumping to conclusions"
I nods and then walks away without uttering another word.
I look at Gloria who comes  running up to me with her arms spread.
When she's in reach I grabbed her by the waist and lifted her up in a big hug.
How did we become strangers to bestfriends in a couple days.
Looking in her eyes I whisper
"Thankyou for giving me hope again Gloria"
Tears began to brimmed her eyes with tears and she held me tighter.
After awhile I put her down and her smile is so big as she picks up her books.
I walk over there and wipe the tears off her face with her thumb rubbing a little mascara off.
Saying our goodbyes to her class I walk over there and give her another hug then walking to my class.

         Gloria Matthewson
Ever since 6th period my legs where like jelly.
My heart felt like if I got close to him again it might explode.
What is wrong with me?
Ringggg!
Class ended finally and I closed my Art notebook not even bothering to listen to the 3 shires behind me.
I grab my belonging and go to locker.
Grabbing my soccer uniform I hurry to the girl locker room. Minutes later where in the gym since the soccer ground is getting cut so gym was our only option.
We began to stretch and began our warm ups.
Bridget came over to me on the bleachers holding her hand out.
"Bridget Mesler"
" Gloria Matthewson "
"What's up,how come I never got to know you like the others"
"Maybe you've been busy but I've been definitely playing"
"Gloria I would like to be get to know you better"
"So would I Bridget"
"Deal?"
"Deal"

           (After Practice)
Going to the girls locker room I took a long shower and put on my clothes they involved some joggers and my black tank top.
Grabbing my stuff I walk out with my ear buds out and was just about to put them in until Max said "took you long enough slow poke"
"Hey I was taking a shower"
"Yeah sure you was"
I digged in my pockets looking for my keys until I heard a ching from Max.
"Looking for these"
"How did you have my..but"
"Remember our hug Yeah I stole them from your pocket"
"You sneak ,give it"
I jumped up and he rose his hand higher.
"Uhh just give it to me"
"Nope I'm driving"
" No your not"
"Yes I am"
"Uhh"
"Uhhh"
"Fine then"
Max grinned and walk to the car while I sulked in my defeat.
We got in and he started My Mosda with the ignition.
He pulled out with a quickie and drove down the main road.
Taking a quick look at my phone and seen a text from Natalie.
N:hey whassup
G:nun much you
Looking back up I seen we past our neighborhood.
"Max where we going"
"Somewhere"
"Uhh"
As I was beginning to protest against it we pulled up on the beach.
I look at him but he was already opening the car door getting out.
Instead of protest I followed suit and walked were he was standing.
As I came closer I seen the sunset.
He grabbed my hand and wrapped me in his chest and hugged me.
Then leaning back he look me in my eyes and His lip smashed against mine.
